Subject: [Leica] A Substitute for Kodachrome?

I am a recent purchaser of a new R8 camera, and have been using
Kodachrome 64 and 200 slide films. I like the neutral and natural color
of these films. I'm not a fan of the current explosion of saturated
slide films. I don't like the 5-7 day wait to see my Kodachrome slides,
nor having to have them sent 600 miles away in Los Angeles to be
processed. Also, a few times now, I've gotten my slides back from Kodak
with the slide mounted incorrectly, at an annoying angle within the
paper frame. I like having my Fujichromes processed locally with E-6
processors and getting them back within 24 hrs. In choosing another
slide film to substitute for Kodachrome films that I've been using, what
film would you choose?
